1970 Map of Eden SE

About this map

The Concho and Menard county border divides this 1970 landscape of the Edwards Plateau, where the drainage patterns of South Brady Creek and Celery Creek define the ranching terrain. The topography is characterized by intricate draws and breaks, including Volkmann Draw and West Scalp Creek, which reveal the area's geological composition. While predominantly rural and used for grazing, the map indicates early 1970s extractive industry through numerous Gravel Pits and an Oil Well near the western edge. Cultural landmarks are sparse, reflecting the low-density settlement typical of West Texas ranchlands, with the Whitehead Ranch serving as a primary local landmark. Significant infrastructure includes the Plum Thicket Windmill, a critical water source for livestock in this semi-arid environment during the late twentieth century.
